Cartoons and Comics are very useful in the process of explaining complicated topics, in a very light and humorous way. Like:

Here my five most favorite math-webcomics sites. (Click on images to visit them.)

1. Spiked Math

2. xkcd

3. SMBC COMICS

4. Oh! You math!

5. Abstruse Goose

Feel free to ask questions, send feedback and even point out mistakes. Great conversations start with just a single word. How to write better comments?
1. Mathematicians definitely have a unique sense of humour! 😆

1. Actually, Art has a unique kind of mathematics and this causes humour.

2. I’m a math geek, so I enjoy reading the occasional comic strip that’s math related. Foxtrot – Surely, everyone knows this one. It occasionally has a lot of math humor but is currently on a Sunday only publication schedule.

Our reader Eswar Chellappa has sent his work on the solution of ‘3X+1’ problem, also called Collatz Conjecture. He had been working on the proof of Collatz Conjecture off and on for almost ten years. The Collatz Conjecture can be quoted as follow: Let $\phi : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}^+$ be a function defined  such that: $$\phi(x):= \begin{cases} \frac{x}{2}, & \text{if }… Read More ## Calendar Formula: Finding the Week-days This is the last month of the glorious prime year 2011. We are all set to welcome upcoming 2012, which is not a prime but a leap year. Calendars have very decent stories and since this blog is based on mathematical approach, let we talk about the mathematical aspects of calendars. The international calendar we use is called Gregorian Calendar,… Read More ## The Collatz Conjecture : Unsolved but Useless The Collatz Conjecture is one of the Unsolved problems in mathematics, especially in Number Theory. The Collatz Conjecture is also termed as 3n+1 conjecture, Ulam Conjecture, Kakutani’s Problem, Thwaites Conjecture, Hasse’s Algorithm, Syracuse Problem. Statement: Start with any positive integer. • Halve it, if it is even. Or • triple it and add 1, if it is odd. If you… ## Solving Integral Equations (2) – Square Integrable Functions, Norms, Trial Method Square Integrable function or quadratically integrable function \mathfrak{L}_2 function A function y(x) is said to be square integrable or \mathfrak{L}_2 function on the interval (a,b) if$$\displaystyle {\int_a^b} {|y(x)|}^2 dx <\infty$$or$$\displaystyle {\int_a^b} y(x) \bar{y}(x) dx <\infty. For further reading, I suggest this Wikipedia page. $y(x)$ is then also called ‘regular function’. The kernel $K(x,t)$ , a function of two variables is…
Consider a sequence of functions as follows:- $f_1 (x) = \sqrt {1+\sqrt {x} }$ $f_2 (x) = \sqrt{1+ \sqrt {1+2 \sqrt {x} } }$ $f_3 (x) = \sqrt {1+ \sqrt {1+2 \sqrt {1+3 \sqrt {x} } } }$ ……and so on to \$ f_n (x) = \sqrt {1+\sqrt{1+2 \sqrt {1+3 \sqrt {\ldots \sqrt {1+n…
